The Ibiza's Replacement, Not A SEAT But It's VAG!!! New Additions!!!!

[st10587]

Ok as many of you know the Ibiza was written off and i suffered some major injurys to my hand. As the doctors are telling me if i get an auto i will be driving sooner then expected i picked up a little mk2 golf 1.6 auto!! Its got a genuine 52k on the clock and is in pretty dam good condition considering its almost 22 years old!! Has the odd dent and spots of surface rust but nothing to really write home about, the interiour is like new and she drives like a showroom model.

So here she is............

On the to do list is....

1. a damn good service (inc cambelt change)
2. Replace a couple of perished pipes
3. some late 16v smoked rear light as the black ones look gay
4. fit my head unit into it as i have no head unit atm
5. get an ashtray
6. replace the broken drivers mirror
7. wheel alignment

nice little runner, cant imagine it compairs to your FR but like i said, good that you have a car, good basis for a wee project to keep you happy till you can get something maybe more suited. i like it but personally couldnt keep it too long. hope your doing ok bud.

Looks like you've got a leaky sunroof and it's dribbling down the seat???

Nice one dude, lower it on Borbet A's and you've got a LUSH car as it is!

compared to the FR it old, slow, flabby, etc etc but its cheap and will hopefully serve its purpose. i still have all my insurance payout so until;l i find some thing else the car fund will just keep growing

 

[ScottHmk4]

glad too hear that mate, will be interesting to see what you get next. let that fund grow untill that wee golf packs in, altho that could be a while considering its milage. best of luck to ye fella.
